A two’fer today to play catchup, so next up for #vinylalphabet is State Champs acoustic recordings of their first record entitled record called The Acoustic Things! It’s nice to hear the singer’s voice with less processing and just an overall simpler tone on this one. #vinyl #emo #poppunk #acoustic

Next up for #vinylalphabet back to S albums with State Champs first record called The Finer Things! I like all of their albums but this is for sure where I got into them. Tracks like Elevated, Hard to Please and Remedy are so good! Also a picture disc but not a sleeve worth showing. #vinyl #emo #poppunk

To catch up, I’m going to post twice today. Next up for #vinylalphabet is a quick segue back to L with LS Dunes’ newest album Violet that I got recently. The band is comprised of members of Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance, Thursday and the singer from Saison, Circa Survive and The Sound of Animals Fighting. You can hear influences of all the bands but the album’s sound still stands on its own. This sophomore effort really shows their talent! #vinyl #emo #posthardcore #PunkRock

Man I’ve been so lazy these days… Next up for #vinylalphabet is Star Wars The Mandalorian season 2. This season was different with monster of the week style episodes of I recall correctly and still enjoyable. Enjoyed getting some new tasty tracks from Mr. Göransson though. #vinyl #originalsoundtrack #starwars #themandalorian #ludwiggoransson

Next up for #vinylalphabet is Star Wars The force awakens. I don’t own many pictures discs as I’ve heard it can impact sound quality but these were too cool to pass up. Williams is my favorite composer and I really enjoyed where he took the soundtrack on this one. I’m a fan of all Star Wars and saw this movie like 7 times in theaters. #vinyl #originalsoundtrack

Hey folks did you miss me? I went in vacation and was on call at work, so I’ve been busy! Next up for #vinylalphabet is Star Wars The Mandalorian season 1. This show was wonderful and so was Ludwig Göransson’s score. It was so different, yet still Star Wars appropriate! I usually avoid picture discs out of sound quality concerns but I couldn’t pass these up. I also picked up an acrylic slip mat to try. #vinyl #originalsoundtrack

Back to the normal flow in #vinylalphabet with Star Wars Original Soundtrack (1977). I am a huge fan of Star Wars, all of it, no toxicity here! Had to grab this when I found it a free years ago. It’s weird that the LP sides are 1/4 and 2/3. Still, sounds pretty good and Williams is my favorite composer #vinyl #originalsoundtrack

Detour part 3, the final turn, in #vinylalphabet with This Place Will Become Your Tomb by Sleep Token. I can’t quite put my finger on what I like about them other than they are different than everything else to me. They go from quiet to dancy to hard and heavy back to soft all within one song. This album might be my favorite of theirs and I can’t pick one track that I like the most. Give it a listen! #vinyl #rock #metal

Detour part 2 in #vinylalphabet with Cowboy Bebop Songs for the Cosmic Sofa. This overlaps a bit with my two other Bebop related albums but features a really nice stripped down version of The Real Folk Blues. Very raw and heartfelt singing by Mai Yamane on this one. #vinyl #anime #soundtrack

Taking a detour for a few#vinylalphabet since I got a few new ones from earlier in the alphabet! First up is All Time Low’s newest press The Forever Sessions Vol. 1 which plays like a greatest hits of just their earlier records. It features some great tracks like Dear Maria, Count Me In, and Weightless, somewhat reimagined and with a more mature-sounding singer, Alex. #vinyl #poppunk
